You will be logging between 3-6 miles depending upon your training level. The link below should give you a relatively clear sense of where we're going. I've also included a verbal description beneath it:
TUESDAY'S RUN COURSE!
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE-
In short, we will head NORTH from the Marina Green Monkey Bars on along Marina Boulevard until we reach the intersection of Mason/Halleck. Continue running on the paved path along Mason past Sports Basement. Shortly after we pass Sports Basement, there is a lengthy straight stretch and a funny looking metal power box on your RIGHT. There will also be a 'MM3' in chalk on the ground. Beginner runners will turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 3 MILES!
Intermediate, Advanced, and Race level runners will continue past the 1.5 mile mark along the paved path. Eventually the path curves over to the right and merges with a dirt/fire road that heads towards the Warming Hut (for the uninitiated, the Warming Hut is A BIG WHITE BUILDING WITH TABLES AND BENCHES IN FRONT OF IT. Hopefully, it will be hard to miss). The Warming Hut is 2 MILES! Intermediate level runners will turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 4 MILES!
Advanced and Race level runners will continue past the Warming Hut onto a paved road that goes past a series of buildings (including some restrooms). You will pass these buildings and continue running along this path next to the water towards the base of the bridge. The path curves around and dead ends at 'Hoppers Hands'. This is 2.5 MILES. Advanced level runners turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 5 MILES!
Race level runners will also turn around at Hopper Hands as well. Once you get back to the monkey bars continue running SOUTH along the paved path past the Marina Safeway and UP Fort Mason Hill.
Crest this hill and go a bit further. You will turn around right at the point at which the hill starts to head DOWN into Aquatic Park and you see the Youth Hostel on the RIGHT. Return to the monkey bars for 6 MILES!

Tuesday (4/06) Running Route Description
You will be logging between 4-7 miles depending upon your training level. The link below should give you a relatively clear sense of where we're going. I've also included a verbal description beneath it:
TUESDAY'S RUN COURSE!
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TUESDAY'S RUN-
We will head north along the Marina to the intersection of Mason/Halleck. This right next to Crissy Field Center and is 1 mile into our run. Everyone follow the pedestrian crosswalk and turn LEFT on Halleck
You will be running uphill for about a block until you reach a controlled intersection with a stop sign. This is the intersection of Halleck/Lincoln. Turn RIGHT onto Lincoln and run along the sidewalk. Stick to the sidewalk on the right and follow Lincoln.
Everyone will continue on Lincoln. You will eventually see the cemetery on your left and Lincoln will curve to the left. Lincoln curves around to the left and downhill slightly. You will find yourself at a 4 way stop at the intersection of Lincoln/McDowell. Look for chalk markings indicating 'FF 4'. Beginner runners turn around here.Turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 4 MILES!
Everyone else will continue past the 'FF 4' chalk markings and continue on Lincoln as it curves around to the right. Eventually you will get a spectacular view of the Marina/Crissy Field off to your right near the intersection of Lincoln/Long(there's a stop sign here at the top of Long). There's a stop sign here and you will see an 'FF 5' in chalk right before Lincoln starts heading uphill. Intermediate runners turn around here. Head back to the monkey bars for 5 MILES!
Advanced and Race level runners will continue running uphill on Lincoln on the right hand shoulder. You will run along the shoulder for about half a mile. This is uphill most of the way.
After you run under an overpass look to your left for a series of small buildings and a street sign indicating 'Ralston'. There are actually '2' instances of 'Ralston'. Run to the 'second' instance of Ralston and you should see 'FF 6' on the ground in chalk. Advanced and Race level runners will turn around here.When you get back you will have logged 6 MILES!
Race level runners will continue SOUTH along the paved path past the Marina Safeway and up our favorite hill. Crest the hill and continue running until the path starts to head downhill towards Aquatic Park. Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 7 MILES!
